Thoughts on hypergamy (self.TheBluePill)

fackmegood が 投稿

I'm not a redpiller. I disagree with most of their theories. The only ones I don't are ones which are not exclusive to them. So things like working out, standing up for yourself etc are generally good for both men and women etc.

Been noticing a trend on this sub about hypergamy. Most people here seem to disagree with it so I'd like to see my views challenged from you and see where that goes.

I think people in general are hypergamous, not just women, not just men. Both. For instance, women will go for or like the cooler guy or the tougher guy in general or the guy that is more popular, well liked. His looks in general has a part to play in that is well. Similarly men will go for the better looking women etc. I think both behaviours is hypergamous because people in society are socialized to view those attractive women with more value, and those attractive men with more value. Although even the way that value is derived can be debated. The value that society places on the most attractive men is going to be way different and much more than the value society places on the most attractive women.

In other words, its not a biological truth that women will go for one type of man, but a truth that women will like what society usually presents to them as the most attractive. And the exact same thing happens with men I think.

Thoughts?

According to Google, hypergamy is "the action of marrying a person of a superior caste or class." Otherwise known as "marrying up" or "gold digging." It is not an imperative fact, as you state it, that women will go for the cooler, tougher or more popular guy. Honestly, people go for who they are attracted to. In most couples I know, both partners are very well matched. But say that it is true, that people try and go for someone "better." That isn't hypergamy. Class/caste is about status and money, not about being better looking. Would it be two-way hypergamy if a hot woman married a rich ugly man? No, the woman is the one marrying up in that instance. So what you are saying is just incorrect as far as what your concept of the word is.

I do think you're correct, society values good looking and/or rich people as better than others. But I would definitely argue that more people seek mutual attraction in relationships and the TERPs that cry hypergamy every chance they get literally think all women are interested in "marrying up" and will stop at nothing to do that.
